Book excerpt from Chapter 3 on Balance:

When you specifically balance train to brace with your paddle, you’ll be storing unique imprints of body reactions from your brain to the paddle to the water. You’ll be able to recall that imprint of information your brain has learned at any moment exactly when you need it.

The exercises are broken down with challenging, safe progressions and full of my special training notes so you can learn and perform at your best.

All throughout the book are my special “training notes” where here I share the most special of training tips and expertise.

Here is another excerpt from Chapter 7 on Mental Toughness:

“Mental discipline and training your brain for excellence has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with believing you can achieve your goal.”

Here is what you’ll find in Chapter 7

In Chapter 7 you will also discover:

TIPS AND PRACTICES ON HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR MENTAL GAME FOR SUP It’s a known scientific fact that if you look at and focus on the muscle you are training it will respond, adapt, and perform to your expectations. I’m hoping that by the time you finish reading this chapter you will stand at the water’s edge with board and paddle and respond to the changes and new growth in your mind and body. The mind is a powerful tool, but that’s just the beginning of what you’re going to learn in this chapter.

Here’s what paddlers are saying about this book: The Distressed Mullet shares:

“When I turned 30, my brother convinced me to do a triathlon. He said, go get the Triathlete’s Bible and start working out. Triathlete’s Bible? I found it. Plans. Advice. PHOTOS. It set me on the course to finish my first sprint triathlon. When I turned 39, I decided to do the SEA NYC Paddle. But there was not a SUP bible equivalent. Now there is. HOW TO INCREASE YOUR PADDLING PERFORMANCE by Suzie Cooney was just published and we love it. It’s the SUP version of the Triathlete’s Bible, taking all of Suzie’s knowledge and experience as an elite trainer and athlete with Suzie Trains Maui. There are pictures, easy instructions and pound for pound packs a TON of paddle-specific information. We are huge fans of Suzie Cooney at the Distressed Mullet. We stand behind this book and highly recommend it. It is the new SUP Training Bible and the cornerstone of any SUP library. And anything that takes Suzie’s passion and experience and adds a dash of Katie Elzer-Peters editing magic is going to be a winner. Get a copy. Get in shape and get on track.”

I just got a copy of Suzie Cooney’s new book, “How to Increase Your Standup Paddling Performance, Beginner to Elite”. Suzie is the real deal, she runs a personal training business on Maui and trains all kinds of people, from those that are just trying to get more fit to hard core, elite paddle athletes. In her spare time, you’ll probably find her paddling Maliko, surfing and doing the occasional little paddle, like crossing the Pailolo Channel over to Molokai or paddling Molokai to Oahu. When she’s not doing those kinds of adventures, she’s giving back in a wide variety of ways. Her beginner fun paddle and casual ‘race’ during the Olukai weekend are just a couple of examples. Anyway, if you are interested in fitness and, specifically, how to up your game on the standup board, you couldn’t ask for a better authority than Suzie to write a book like this.This is the kind of book you want to keep around for a reference. I would call it a SUP foundation-training bible. So much is covered in this book, it is extremely comprehensive while staying truly substantive. If you are into Standup and want to learn more or you are a seasoned competitor, this is one of those must-have books you’ll want in your library. Anyone that wants a total training reference for the sport of stand up paddling should check it out.

What an amazing book! Suzie has packed this book full of helpful information about all of the important elements of standup paddling: training, gear, recovery, nutrition, and more. All of the information is presented in a thoughtful, helpful way. The book is also full of excellent photos. This book is a tremendous value for anyone who is interested in SUP. As someone else noted, this book is destined to be the SUP training bible.

This book is long overdue! This is the first publication I’ve seen that brings together all of the key elements of standup paddle board racing, training, nutrition and gear overview in one place. What makes this book truly stand out is that is written in a way that will appeal to both the beginning paddle boarder who wants to try SUP racing as well as the experienced one. Suzie’s web site has always had great info on taking your paddling to the next level, but to have it all in one place is awesome. While the information is extremely useful, the presentation and the way the book is organized and laid out makes it extremely accessible and user-friendly. This is destined to be the SUP training bible.

Suzie Cooney’s new book is fantastic! Having been a competitive SUP racer for over 5 years it shed new light on what I was doing right and wrong. Reading through her explaining training techniques I found information that shed new light on some of my pain issues and ways to improve and correct those quite easily. So much great information from front to back, mental – physical and healthy habits on nutrition make this a really well rounded training guide. This is a book to last a lifetime. Dino Wilson.

I have been paddling for over 7 years and have found “How to Increase Your Stand Up Paddling Performance” a great resource for SUP training and technique. Suzie is able to provide great suggestions that work for the beginner to the expert. Using core strength is a key to being able to paddle longer distances without tiring out. She explains it perfectly so most anyone can pick it up. Living in Seattle can be tough getting out on the water in the winter time but this book provides great suggestions for developing your own SUP exercise program to stay fit when it is too dark to paddle. I think it is a great book for any level of paddler and I will be using it as a guide for a long time.

Please help me in making this book a top seller. Here are ways in which you can help:

Read the book, review it and pass it on. BUY as many copies as you like and give to friends and family who love to paddle who want to be stronger and a better paddler.
